The main case 5 is shaped to provide a paste pan 6. A paste reservoir 7is formed within the case at one side of the'pan, and an opening isprovided in the adjacent side of the reservoir through'which paste flowsto the pan. A slide 8 is adjustably mounted to be set to vary the. sizeof the opening and consequently regulate the flow of paste.

A chainor cable 15 is attacliedlat its endstothe bearingablockspand 1s droppedsufliciently to be grasped for -manual movement of the bearing blockswhen the case is raised throu h the medium of handles 12. A cutting weel 16 is carried by the bearin blocks, and this cutting wheel can be mae as shown in Fig. 5, where the cutting edge is illustrated as beingformed into teeth.

In applying paper to aceiling, the roll of wall paper is placed in pastepan 6 and the free end is drawn under and then back over smoothing roll9. By manipulation of handles 12 case 5 is tilted so that theend of thestrip er-paper is applied to the side wall, dropped somewhat from'theceiling. The caseis then again righted, as in Fig. 1; and is moved inthe direction of the arrow, roll 9 acting to smooth the paper on theceiling and rush 11 pressing the paper to a closer adhesion. When the oposite side wall is reached, chain 15 is pul ed to draw cutting wheel 16across to sever the strip, and the end is then smoothed down on, theside wall to give the desired drop.

When paper is to be applied on the side walls, the roll of paper isplaced in the pasted pan and the end of the strip is drawn over the roll9 and down over the outer side the strip is attached to the wall at theto of the base board, the case bein then raise to smooth the paper onthe we 1.

When the desired length of paper has been unrolled the-case is moved tobring the Wheel into contact with the paper on the wall and cuttingwheel 16 is moved to sever the strip. In this operation the roller ismoved upward until it reaches the ceiling when the handles of the caseare grasped by one hand of the operator and the cutter moved by hisother hand so as to sever the paper at a point below the ceiling, thusleaving the usual space for the application of a border. The brush 11can be taken from clip 10 to be used in pressing the paper more firmlyagainst the wall, and to cover the-joint at the point of meeting ofceiling and side wall paper, the usual border or mold will be applied.

Changes and variations can be made in the construction and arrangementof the parts without departing from the spirit and scope of my inventionas outlined in the claims.

I claim:

1. A wall papering machine comprising a casing having a paste containercompare ment and a pasting pan having a depressed curved bottom toreceive a paper roll and separated from said container by an aperturedpartition, a valve controlling the aperture of said partition to admitpaste 3. A wall papering machine comprising a casing having at one end apaste compartment and at the opposite end a pasting pan provided with aconcave bottom disposed beneath the level of the bottom of the pastecompartment, a valved partition between said compartment and pan adaptedto dis charge at the lower portion thereof, a paper applying rollercarried by said pen, a slidably mounted paper cutter supported. on saidpan, and means for reciprocating said cutter.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of two subscribing Witnesses.
